To see all 68 containers, use the `-a` (or `--all`) flag: 69 70 ```bash 71 $ docker ps -a 72 ``` 73 74 `docker ps` groups exposed ports into a single range if possible. E.g., a 75 container that exposes TCP ports `100, 101, 102` displays `100-102/tcp` in 76 the `PORTS` column. 77 78 ### Filtering 79 80 The filtering flag (`-f` or `--filter`) format is a `key=value` pair. If there is more 81 than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g. `--filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz"`) 82 83 The currently supported filters are: 84 85 * id (container's id) 86 * label (`label=<key>` or `label=<key>=<value>`) 87 * name (container's name) 88 * exited (int - the code of exited containers. Only useful with `--all`) 89 * status (created|restarting|running|removing|paused|exited|dead) 90 * ancestor (`<image-name>[:<tag>]`, `<image id>` or `<image@digest>`) - filters containers that were created from the given image or a descendant. 91 * before (container's id or name) - filters containers created before given id or name 92 * since (container's id or name) - filters containers created since given id or name 93 * isolation (default|process|hyperv) (Windows daemon only) 94 * volume (volume name or mount point) - filters containers that mount volumes. 95 * network (network id or name) - filters containers connected to the provided network 96 * health (starting|healthy|unhealthy|none) - filters containers based on healthcheck status 97 * publish=(container's published port) - filters published ports by containers 98 * expose=(container's exposed port) - filters exposed ports by containers 99 100 #### label 101 102 The `label` filter matches containers based on the presence of a `label` alone or a `label` and a 103 value. 104 105 The following filter matches containers with the `color` label regardless of its value. 106 107 ```bash 108 $ docker ps --filter "label=color" 109 110 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 111 673394ef1d4c busybox "top" 47 seconds ago Up 45 seconds nostalgic_shockley 112 d85756f57265 busybox "top" 52 seconds ago Up 51 seconds high_albattani 113 ``` 114 115 The following filter matches containers with the `color` label with the `blue` value. 116 117 ```bash 118 $ docker ps --filter "label=color=blue" 119 120 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 121 d85756f57265 busybox "top" About a minute ago Up About a minute high_albattani 122 ``` 123 124 #### name 125 126 The `name` filter matches on all or part of a container's name. 127 128 The following filter matches all containers with a name containing the `nostalgic_stallman` string. 129 130 ```bash 131 $ docker ps --filter "name=nostalgic_stallman" 132 133 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 134 9b6247364a03 busybox "top" 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes nostalgic_stallman 135 ``` 136 137 You can also filter for a substring in a name as this shows: 138 139 ```bash 140 $ docker ps --filter "name=nostalgic" 141 142 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 143 715ebfcee040 busybox "top" 3 seconds ago Up 1 second i_am_nostalgic 144 9b6247364a03 busybox "top" 7 minutes ago Up 7 minutes nostalgic_stallman 145 673394ef1d4c busybox "top" 38 minutes ago Up 38 minutes nostalgic_shockley 146 ``` 147 148 #### exited 149 150 The `exited` filter matches containers by exist status code. For example, to 151 filter for containers that have exited successfully: 152 153 ```bash 154 $ docker ps -a --filter 'exited=0' 155 156 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 157 ea09c3c82f6e registry:latest /srv/run.sh 2 weeks ago Exited (0) 2 weeks ago 127.0.0.1:5000->5000/tcp desperate_leakey 158 106ea823fe4e fedora:latest /bin/sh -c 'bash -l' 2 weeks ago Exited (0) 2 weeks ago determined_albattani 159 48ee228c9464 fedora:20 bash 2 weeks ago Exited (0) 2 weeks ago tender_torvalds 160 ``` 161 162 #### Filter by exit signal 163 164 You can use a filter to locate containers that exited with status of `137` 165 meaning a `SIGKILL(9)` killed them. 166 167 ```none 168 $ docker ps -a --filter 'exited=137' 169 170 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 171 b3e1c0ed5bfe ubuntu:latest "sleep 1000" 12 seconds ago Exited (137) 5 seconds ago grave_kowalevski 172 a2eb5558d669 redis:latest "/entrypoint.sh redi 2 hours ago Exited (137) 2 hours ago sharp_lalande 173 ``` 174 175 Any of these events result in a `137` status: 176 177 * the `init` process of the container is killed manually 178 * `docker kill` kills the container 179 * Docker daemon restarts which kills all running containers 180 181 #### status 182 183 The `status` filter matches containers by status. You can filter using 184 `created`, `restarting`, `running`, `removing`, `paused`, `exited` and `dead`. For example, 185 to filter for `running` containers: 186 187 ```bash 188 $ docker ps --filter status=running 189 190 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 191 715ebfcee040 busybox "top" 16 minutes ago Up 16 minutes i_am_nostalgic 192 d5c976d3c462 busybox "top" 23 minutes ago Up 23 minutes top 193 9b6247364a03 busybox "top" 24 minutes ago Up 24 minutes nostalgic_stallman 194 ``` 195 196 To filter for `paused` containers: 197 198 ```bash 199 $ docker ps --filter status=paused 200 201 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 202 673394ef1d4c busybox "top" About an hour ago Up About an hour (Paused) nostalgic_shockley 203 ``` 204 205 #### ancestor 206 207 The `ancestor` filter matches containers based on its image or a descendant of 208 it. The filter supports the following image representation: 209 210 - image 211 - image:tag 212 - image:tag@digest 213 - short-id 214 - full-id 215 216 If you don't specify a `tag`, the `latest` tag is used. For example, to filter 217 for containers that use the latest `ubuntu` image: 218 219 ```bash 220 $ docker ps --filter ancestor=ubuntu 221 222 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 223 919e1179bdb8 ubuntu-c1 "top" About a minute ago Up About a minute admiring_lovelace 224 5d1e4a540723 ubuntu-c2 "top" About a minute ago Up About a minute admiring_sammet 225 82a598284012 ubuntu "top" 3 minutes ago Up 3 minutes sleepy_bose 226 bab2a34ba363 ubuntu "top" 3 minutes ago Up 3 minutes focused_yonath 227 ``` 228 229 Match containers based on the `ubuntu-c1` image which, in this case, is a child 230 of `ubuntu`: 231 232 ```bash 233 $ docker ps --filter ancestor=ubuntu-c1 234 235 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 236 919e1179bdb8 ubuntu-c1 "top" About a minute ago Up About a minute admiring_lovelace 237 ``` 238 239 Match containers based on the `ubuntu` version `12.04.5` image: 240 241 ```bash 242 $ docker ps --filter ancestor=ubuntu:12.04.5 243 244 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 245 82a598284012 ubuntu:12.04.5 "top" 3 minutes ago Up 3 minutes sleepy_bose 246 ``` 247 248 The following matches containers based on the layer `d0e008c6cf02` or an image 249 that have this layer in its layer stack. 250 251 ```bash 252 $ docker ps --filter ancestor=d0e008c6cf02 253 254 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 255 82a598284012 ubuntu:12.04.5 "top" 3 minutes ago Up 3 minutes sleepy_bose 256 ``` 257 258 #### Create time 259 260 ##### before 261 262 The `before` filter shows only containers created before the container with 263 given id or name. For example, having these containers created: 264 265 ```bash 266 $ docker ps 267 268 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 269 9c3527ed70ce busybox "top" 14 seconds ago Up 15 seconds desperate_dubinsky 270 4aace5031105 busybox "top" 48 seconds ago Up 49 seconds focused_hamilton 271 6e63f6ff38b0 busybox "top" About a minute ago Up About a minute distracted_fermat 272 ``` 273 274 Filtering with `before` would give: 275 276 ```bash 277 $ docker ps -f before=9c3527ed70ce 278 279 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 280 4aace5031105 busybox "top" About a minute ago Up About a minute focused_hamilton 281 6e63f6ff38b0 busybox "top" About a minute ago Up About a minute distracted_fermat 282 ``` 283 284 ##### since 285 286 The `since` filter shows only containers created since the container with given 287 id or name. For example, with the same containers as in `before` filter: 288 289 ```bash 290 $ docker ps -f since=6e63f6ff38b0 291 292 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 293 9c3527ed70ce busybox "top" 10 minutes ago Up 10 minutes desperate_dubinsky 294 4aace5031105 busybox "top" 10 minutes ago Up 10 minutes focused_hamilton 295 ``` 296 297 #### volume 298 299 The `volume` filter shows only containers that mount a specific volume or have 300 a volume mounted in a specific path: 301 302 ```bash 303 {% raw %} 304 $ docker ps --filter volume=remote-volume --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Mounts}}" 305 CONTAINER ID MOUNTS 306 9c3527ed70ce remote-volume 307 308 $ docker ps --filter volume=/data --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Mounts}}" 309 CONTAINER ID MOUNTS 310 9c3527ed70ce remote-volume 311 {% endraw %} 312 ``` 313 314 #### network 315 316 The `network` filter shows only containers that are connected to a network with 317 a given name or id. 318 319 The following filter matches all containers that are connected to a network 320 with a name containing `net1`. 321 322 ```bash 323 $ docker run -d --net=net1 --name=test1 ubuntu top 324 $ docker run -d --net=net2 --name=test2 ubuntu top 325 326 $ docker ps --filter network=net1 327 328 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 329 9d4893ed80fe ubuntu "top" 10 minutes ago Up 10 minutes test1 330 ``` 331 332 The network filter matches on both the network's name and id. The following 333 example shows all containers that are attached to the `net1` network, using 334 the network id as a filter; 335 336 ```bash 337 {% raw %} 338 $ docker network inspect --format "{{.ID}}" net1 339 {% endraw %} 340 341 8c0b4110ae930dbe26b258de9bc34a03f98056ed6f27f991d32919bfe401d7c5 342 343 $ docker ps --filter network=8c0b4110ae930dbe26b258de9bc34a03f98056ed6f27f991d32919bfe401d7c5 344 345 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 346 9d4893ed80fe ubuntu "top" 10 minutes ago Up 10 minutes test1 347 ``` 348 349 #### publish and expose 350 351 The `publish` and `expose` filters show only containers that have published or exposed port with a given port 352 number, port range, and/or protocol. The default protocol is `tcp` when not specified. 353 354 The following filter matches all containers that have published port of 80: 355 356 ```bash 357 $ docker run -d --publish=80 busybox top 358 $ docker run -d --expose=8080 busybox top 359 360 $ docker ps -a 361 362 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 363 9833437217a5 busybox "top" 5 seconds ago Up 4 seconds 8080/tcp dreamy_mccarthy 364 fc7e477723b7 busybox "top" 50 seconds ago Up 50 seconds 0.0.0.0:32768->80/tcp admiring_roentgen 365 366 $ docker ps --filter publish=80 367 368 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 369 fc7e477723b7 busybox "top" About a minute ago Up About a minute 0.0.0.0:32768->80/tcp admiring_roentgen 370 ``` 371 372 The following filter matches all containers that have exposed TCP port in the range of `8000-8080`: 373 ```bash 374 $ docker ps --filter expose=8000-8080/tcp 375 376 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 377 9833437217a5 busybox "top" 21 seconds ago Up 19 seconds 8080/tcp dreamy_mccarthy 378 ``` 379 380 The following filter matches all containers that have exposed UDP port `80`: 381 ```bash 382 $ docker ps --filter publish=80/udp 383 384 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 385 ``` 386 387 ### Formatting 388 389 The formatting option (`--format`) pretty-prints container output using a Go 390 template. 391 392 Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below: 393 394 Placeholder | Description 395 --------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 396 `.ID` | Container ID 397 `.Image` | Image ID 398 `.Command` | Quoted command 399 `.CreatedAt` | Time when the container was created. 400 `.RunningFor` | Elapsed time since the container was started. 401 `.Ports` | Exposed ports. 402 `.Status` | Container status. 403 `.Size` | Container disk size. 404 `.Names` | Container names. 405 `.Labels` | All labels assigned to the container. 406 `.Label` | Value of a specific label for this container. For example `'{% raw %}{{.Label "com.docker.swarm.cpu"}}{% endraw %}'` 407 `.Mounts` | Names of the volumes mounted in this container. 408 `.Networks` | Names of the networks attached to this container. 409 410 When using the `--format` option, the `ps` command will either output the data 411 exactly as the template declares or, when using the `table` directive, includes 412 column headers as well. 413 414 The following example uses a template without headers and outputs the `ID` and 415 `Command` entries separated by a colon for all running containers: 416 417 ```bash 418 {% raw %} 419 $ docker ps --format "{{.ID}}: {{.Command}}" 420 {% endraw %} 421 422 a87ecb4f327c: /bin/sh -c #(nop) MA 423 01946d9d34d8: /bin/sh -c #(nop) MA 424 c1d3b0166030: /bin/sh -c yum -y up 425 41d50ecd2f57: /bin/sh -c #(nop) MA 426 ``` 427 428 To list all running containers with their labels in a table format you can use: 429 430 ```bash 431 {% raw %} 432 $ docker ps --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Labels}}" 433 {% endraw %} 434 435 CONTAINER ID LABELS 436 a87ecb4f327c com.docker.swarm.node=ubuntu,com.docker.swarm.storage=ssd 437 01946d9d34d8 438 c1d3b0166030 com.docker.swarm.node=debian,com.docker.swarm.cpu=6 439 41d50ecd2f57 com.docker.swarm.node=fedora,com.docker.swarm.cpu=3,com.docker.swarm.storage=ssd 440 ```
